02 MarStrengthening checks for new provider and service approval applications
From next month, new provider and service approval applications will be assessed by state and territory regulatory authorities using a nationally consistent assessment. A new online, multiple choice assessment is an opportunity for provider personnel to demonstrate their knowledge of the National Law and National Regulations, and the responsibilities and obligations of an approved provider.
The purpose of the national framework is to promote the safety, health and wellbeing of children, and improve children’s educational outcomes when they attend an education and care service. The new online assessment will also streamline applications through its use of new technologies.
For more information about the assessment of applications, contact Quality Assessment and Regulation Division, Department of Education and Training.
